[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
For many occasions, people suggest reflashing the respective ROMS to solve inexplicable issues, but there is a question about what to wipe, what not to wipe, and how the process of retaining the app data works. Could you show this for Bonsai and SRF? That would be hugely helpful. Thanks!

I know I said it before but: Make ROM Reviews please =P
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
I am patient I'm just giving him a hard time :p

I appreciate all the work he puts into his videos and I am constantly linking them on 3 different forums :)

And a suggestion how about ACE 2.0 ROM :)
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Check my youtube channel... way ahead of you ;)

Just haven't had a chance to put it on the threads yet since I've had class all day
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
New videos everyone! Let me know what you think and keep the suggestions coming!
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Thanks again for doing these dude seems to be helping ALOT of people
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:

[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
I think you should start reviewing different launchers ;)

I always try and remember to point people in need of help to these videos. Was just looking over them and these 2 videos have opened a whole new world of making my android phone.....mine!!!

Bye, bye minimal pandora.....hello unlimited pandora, awesome vids thanks qb:cool:
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:

Almost every thread on a couple other forums I post in I direct them to his videos. They have been a great foundation to get new people worried about rooting into rooting :)

I know someone asked already - but how about one showing how to "restore" "saved" ROMs ( example = changing from ACE 2.0 back to Bonsai 4.0 then back to SyndicateFrozen ) without having to flash them again as new
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Check your private messages over at android central ;)

Already been done! Backup and restore a nandroid backup

And Ill see what I can do!! I'm planning on making more tonight ;)

[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Couple new ones up! Keep the suggestions coming! And thanks to all of the donators!! They are very helpful and much appreciated!!!!!!
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Changing the animations - great video idea!

Are all the 'flash X ROM' ones necessary, though? Most are the exact same procedure. ;)
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
I agree :p

You should keep the one where you flash Midnight over SRF and back and then any future ROM videos you should review them :)
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
I disagree on reviews - ROM experience is a highly subjective thing, and we don't want any accusations of bias, what with qbking77 being an ACS member. ;)
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
Theres no bias :p Love SRF :p

I was meaning like reviewing whats different between the ROMs, speed and such what works and what doesnt :)

Edit: like some ROMs have ADW so have LP some TW different apps added if any apps are skinned already and such, and some have very different boot animations :P

And the other video is like 52 percent uploaded... its pretty long.

Wow, lol. Is this way of rooting still allow you to flash any ROM? Because I heard something about the Clean (or clear? Idk) Kernel making it so you can't reboot into recovery. What did that mean?

[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Thanks so much to OP. These videos were perfect. Only feedback I have is a version where you install and use Titanium Backup during the rooting process. It slowed me down because I didn't have a conceptualized version of what I would be working with. PErfect otherwise, though. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
I tried to flash a separate dialer and contacts list by using your method of modifying the zip files for the theme I want, I deleted the folders like you showd, and flash, however when it boots up I get mad force closes and have to restore from clockwork. Am I doing something wrong? :confused: Oh and I changed the swype just like you did and it worked perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Hmm I'm honestly not too sure why it would do that. Did you try it again? I'm not too sure why it would happen. Maybe just a compatibility issue.
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
Great videos as usual. I have a SetCPU question for you. When it does the initial run , the settings it shows are "recommended" right ? So if mine showed 1200/400 , that is what the scan "recommends" , correct ?
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
Im running ACS 1.1.0 and I deleted all the apps I didnt want from the theme, Im using the black alien theme just the contacts and the phone apk, and deleted all the files from the how to video, and when I flash it appears to go smoothly, I wipe cache and dalvik but once it completely boots and I unlock it starts force closing like mad and I cant do anything but reboot into clockwork and restore :( :confused: like I said Doing just the swype kb workd beautifully. I must be doing something wrong Im just not sure what? :confused: Ur videos are brilliant so I know its gotta be my error
[Epic 4G General] NoPh33rRaCiNg:
Thanks for the helpful vids!
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Hmm. What are the .apk's that you are keeping in the zip?
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
I left the Meta file, then in system I deleted everything but the app folder and the apps I left are the contacts, dialertab, and phone apks. I wipe cache and dalvik 3 times to be safe before the flash and after it reboots it still force closes like crazy. :confused: Do you think maybe one of the other folders could be needed since the fonts are changed? Its the ACS Black Void zip if you wanted to take a look at it?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Suggestion: flashing the new cwm 3.0.2.5 and the clean kernel :)

Sent from my Samsung Epic
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
It is clockwork 3, and the kernal is genocide, its done nothing but run beautifully for quite awhile now with journaling on ;) this is the first hiccup ive had, like I said before I did his swype method and it went perfectly. So I highly highly doubt its got anything to do with th root/rom/kernal, but thanks anyways, the more I look at it the more I think maybe one of the other folders has somthing to do with it when they get deleted, but i have no knowledge on what goes with what lol
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
No, he was suggesting a new video to make which I plan on doing! But in the case of your issue, I will look at it tonight and try and replicate it. Let you know!
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
I feel sheepish :o

U Da Man qbking! Good luck in replicating the issue? lol
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Alright, got it going. It works fine for me! Just flash the attached through clockwork.

Oh, and as usual... wipe cache and dalvik 3X each before flash to be safe :)
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
:D Ok seriously, YOU ARE THE MAN! Idk what you did cause I literally did the same thing, but I guess u have a magical computer or somthing lol Works perfectly and I couldnt be happier :D Thank you thank you thank you!
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
haha no problem man. Just let me know if you need anything else!
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Alright everyone! I know it's been a while since I've made a video... The camera I've been borrowing had to be returned for a while, but I'll get it back soon! I'll actually be gone for the next week playing in a golf tournament in Alabama (so if you live near Scottsboro, come watch!), so I won't be able to start making videos again till I get back!

[Epic 4G General] OrygunGal:
Many Thanks for Vids!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these very helpful videos!!!! I'm on my 4th Epic because of bugs in the EC05 update. Each phone was having trouble with installations hanging and never completing, whether installing from the market or sd card, and it would hang on uninstalls as well and not complete. In addition, it was not recognizing apps moved to the sd card when it did install. I spent many hours in frustration, rebooting multiple times to try to get apps to install and be recognized if moved to sd, wiping data, formatting sd card. It couldn't format the sd card while booted into EC05. I didn't want to unmount it. I figured out that I could do it from CWM.

With this last phone, I decided to try rooting and flashing the clean kernel. That didn't help either...same issues. I was afraid I'd have to go back to DI18 on which it ran very well but was a step backward in features (unless I couldn't use them of course). Today I decided to try the EE03 Swiss Cheese ROM and EE03 modem. So far it is leaps and bounds better than EC05. I think I am on track now and and not afraid to spend some time setting my phone up again. I'm looking forward to more Gingerbread goodness...

Again, thanks muchly for these videos!! Unfortunately, Firefox does not display a thanks button or I would be using that as well.
[Epic 4G General] lil ol threat:
bootanimation.zip doesn't exist

I appreciate all the time you put forward to making videos helping to educate us on all sorts of goodies. I am definitely bored with the standard boot animation, unfortunately I do not have a bootanimation.zip anywhere in the specified folder. What I do have are 3 items that would possibly resemble a boot sequence - bootani.qmg, bootsamsung.qmg, and bootsamsungloop.qmg. As for the shutdown it is exactly the way you said it would be. I went ahead and renamed those 3 files with a .bak at the end of them and tried to move the bootanimation.zip into the folder but it gave an error which stated there was not enough room to place the item in the folder. Do I just need to find a ROM that has those 3 qmg files or is there a way around this? Any help would be appreciated..

thanks in advance

[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Boot animations can only be changed on a rom. You can't change the stock boot up animation.

appreciate that quick reply to let me know my error. flashed syndicate 1.1, running on boost network and my phone's never worked as fast as now. The changing of the bootanimtions is as simple as taking a sip of water.

qbking77 - THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Ive had my epic since launch, but have not until the other day been so fed up with the stock 2.2 that I wanted to change and try roms/root/tweaks. Your video's helped so much. I tried to read on the forum as much as I could but lots of threads just aren't for new people. After watching many of your videos multiple times I think I have the gist of things and am running a rooted 2.3.3 leak. :) Im not new to this sort of stuff, but new to the epic/android.
[Epic 4G General] youncester:
Completely dumb to rooting and etc but doing some research and schooling myself.. The videos are very easy and makes things so much easier to understand.. anyways.. I am liking the gingerbread leak and possibly thinking about going to that and the i1 deal... question is?!?!?! I really like the touchwiz interface on froyo stock.. Can you put that something like that on gingerbread?

Thanks,

This is a simple script for ClockWorkRecovery that removes the HTC Sense LockScreen files so you can use the stock android lockscreen.

Requirements

Must Be Rooted

If you are unfamiliar of what the stock android lockscreen looks like, just look below :)

Htc Sense Lockscreen (Stock) On The Left, Aosp Lockscreen On The Right

Download
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Nice, but needs to include gingerbread or honeycomb theming...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Master™:
It isn't a theme.. Just removing some files to show the aosp LockScreen instead.

It would be pretty simple for someone to make a theme for this though
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Hellzya:
Works thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikeyinid:
Renaming or deleting htclockscreen.apk also gives you aosp lockscreen. Thanks for this!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ncwildcat:
Careful - or be ready to be awake...you have to use a different alarm clock or you wont be able to shut it off...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CenFlo:
Thanks, always like the AOSP lock screen much more.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iphydeauxi:
You can shut it off after unlock, or just kickstand it and leave it on night time desk clock mode while you charge. I think it makes a good nightstand clock anyway.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikeyinid:
Ive had htc lockscreen disabled[ since i got the phone and my alarm goes off at 645 every morning QUOTE=ncwildcat;12422258]Careful - or be ready to be awake...you have to use a different alarm clock or you wont be able to shut it off...[/QUOTE]
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Well I know it's not a theme, it just deletes files. However, adding some framework-res changes to the zip couldn't hurt right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] walbuls:
Would this work with the Virus rom? And does it mess anything up when you apply this?(wondering after seeing the posts above)

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikeyinid:
It doesnt mess anything up, it works perfectly fine. You will have aosp lockscreen. However, you will lose your lockscreen music controls and just about anything else you were able to do from the lockscreen. Its all tied into the htclockscreen.apk(sense).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] walbuls:
Thanks for the info.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Russ36363:
Then why are the issues occuring with the alarm? Is that only after it's set? I'm really wanting to drop this mod in, but I don't want to have these alarm issues that others are experiencing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thecaptain0220:
How do you kickstand it while charging? I thought about doing that but the stupid charging port is in the way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Lipmonger:
Stand it up vertically. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thecaptain0220:
Genius, lol. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikeyinid:
What alarm issues are you talking about? My alarm works just fine. I would recommend using root explorer, going into system/app folder and renaming htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.apk.bak and checking it out for yourself. You can always change it back if you have issues
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ncwildcat:
My bad...on the incredible the only way to shut off the alarm was with the lockscreen...looks like this is fixed on the t-bolt

Sent from my personal space
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Russ36363:
The posts made on the first page made it sound like the alarm was going off randomly/couldn't be turned off.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidDont:
Does this mean that any hardware button will now wake the device?

Regardless, thanks for this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Russ36363:
Nope, I took it out on my device, and only power still will turn on the screen.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psychomaniac189:
noticed screen doesnt wake up when you plug the phone into charge or via usb from computer now that i disabled htclockscreen

why are you removing this from virus rom when the virus rom has all sense stuff removed? or is this not true?
